yes, the TDs are aware that a decision is needed.
We wanted to give all sides the possibility to explain their point of view, so it takes some time.
You'll get the decision on Sunday.

Whatever the decision will be, Masimo and I agree on one thing:
When you participate in a tournament this includes the moral obligation to complete it, i.e. try as hard as possible to play all your matches and do that in time.
Not doing that is very poor sportsmanship, as it influences the results of other participants and may kill the event as a whole.

In case of problems one should at least expect that a player who fears he cannot complete a tournament or round in time addresses the TDs before the deadline, so one can think about countermeasures (appointing substitutes or whatever) in advance.

xsandrax/Hecki - Ommie/Sysy shall play another full match against each other.
If xsandrax/Hecki score at least 7.5 points they advance, otherwise Ommie/Sysy advance.

Reasoning:
The other 2 pairs are not affected by the withdrawal of Moni/Mudda.
The direct match xsandrax/Hecki - Ommie/Sysy was a tie.
If Ommie/Sysy played Moni/Mudda they would need a win to qualify. 5:5 would result in perfect tie against xsandrax/Hecki.
Moni/Mudda have won enough matches in the last years of FED, so we want to give xsandrax/Hecki some credit for achieving a perfect 10:0 against them.
On the other hand, if we cancel the result of xsandrax/Hecki - Moni/Mudda (which we have to do) Ommie/Sysy have 17 points, xsandrax/Hecki have 12. And we want to give Ommie/Sysy the deserved credit for this, too.

Really fair results are made impossible, if somebody quits in the middle of a round robin.
We hope that this solution is the best of all evils - special thanks to the involved players, who made it possible by showing great sportsmanship.

So ... that's it, or is it?
Do we have to live with imperfect solutions, caused by players who quit?
Very much so, for the tournament in question - but we should avoid such situations for the future.
If we want to enjoy our game, it's mandatory, that we feel obliged to tournament behaviour just as professionals would - can you imagine a football team not showing up for their last match(es) if they can't win the championship any more (or for whatever other reason)?

Here's what we can do:As Mudda/Moni caused the problems, and we still didn't receive a reasonable explanation why they couldn't play their games, we will not accept their registration for FED 2011 (if there is one).
As Mudda already cancelled games in other events, too, we suggest, that TDs of other events (including round robins) think twice whether they want to accept Mudda's registration.

We wish all players who made (and will make) it to the KO an enjoyable rest of FED 2010 without further problems
Masimo & dea

Problem is, once you start being lenient, you quickly arrive at the point where it's too late.

Trying not to make the same mistake twice ...

P.S.:
In a way it has ended 0:0 some weeks ago - I don't think anyone will notice or care when/if the remaining games are eventually played.
I assume they don't need a TD - hopefully that's true because it may be forgotten already, who it was
